@Spanneraol, its true that Sandy didn't appear in the 1955 Series but he was on the WS roster - as were two other Brooklyn players Dixie Howell and Rube Walker who did not appear either - and was present/available in the bullpen for use in every game, even warming up once or twice... He just never got into a game. So the credit on here is correct per the Wikipedia policy. Also listed on the roster here by Baseball Reference.
Funny story related to this: he actually went straight to college after the final out and needed to ask permission from his professor to go to the Dodgers victory party and parade. The professor asked him "Are you really that big a fan?" and Sandy responded, "No, sir, I'm on the team." 😭 Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:50, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could you explain that to the guy on the Kershaw talk page who used Koufax as an example of why Kershaw should have the 24 series added to his page. Spanneraol (talk) 22:53, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I've messaged an explanation. Alas, I don't know how wise it is to argue with people who are, understandably, blinded by sentimentality but are now grasping at straws. I mean, all that is only because its Clayton. You don't see a similar outcry or edit-warring for Tyler Glasnow, for example. I think it will blow over soon.
